Lemon Rice- Simple and flavorful peanut and lemon rice -a South Indian specialty

Lemon Rice -Rice is the staple diet of South India and there are so many ways of making simple but flavorful rice pilaf .Many South Indian rice preparations are very quick and made by using left over rice.

I love rice and often try different recipes to make quick and filling rice preparations.lemon rice is a very popular south Indian preparation .It is very flavorful and can be made with either left over boiled rice or  fresh boiled rice.
Its a dry preparation so a good recipe to use for lunch boxes and as a travel food.It is also offered as prashad in many south Indian temples.
If you have left over rice then it can be made in a jiffy,just a tempering of urad daal, mustard, peanuts and curry leaves are added in boiled rice and then lemon juice is added to give that tangy flavor.
Addition of cashew nuts is optional. This Lemon rice is a complete meal in itself so you don’t need any accompaniment to serve with it but papad,salad and coconut chutney goes very well with this preparation .
